In the famous century-old luxury restaurant, an elegant violinist plays melodious music.
Lu Jinzhou crossed his long legs and asked, "Grandpa, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Country A?"
Mr. Lu was dressed in a Tang suit, with an awe-inspiring aura. "Let me tell you, you're not going to come anymore, and then push the work here to me?"
"You're just passing by. I just happen to need to spend more time with Nianchu recently, you know."
"You little bastard, I've been retired for so many years, and you still won't let me go. Even your father wouldn't dare to have such a shameless idea."
Lu Jinzhou looked at the message sent by Shen Nianchu on his phone and smiled, "Aren't we related by generations? How can my dad compare to you?"
Mr. Lu looked at the gentle smile on his face and asked, "Chen Nianchu?"
"Um."
Mr. Lu thought about Shen Nianchu's recent experience and sighed, "This child has been through too much. A good family was ruined by her incompetent father. Poor Shen Nianchu, all the gossip in the capital recently..."
There was a time difference, and the messages between them had been completely off-topic these past two days. Now he could finally reply immediately, "Don't tell me you care about those gossips?"
"I didn't say anything, why are you so anxious?"
"I'm not in a hurry. No matter what others say, I've already decided on her for life. If those people still don't know how to restrain themselves, I'll naturally help them change their bad habit of gossiping when I go back."
Seeing his resoluteness, Mr. Lu understood.
"Since you've made up your mind, then treat her well from now on. She's been through so much, and it's not easy for her either. She needs warmth right now."
"Well, I want to go back and ask her opinion. If she wants to observe the three-year mourning period, then I'll propose and get engaged first."
"Well, although most people don't observe the three-year mourning period like before, most can get married after a hundred days. However, you must ask for other people's opinions on these matters and can't be rushed. But if she marries into the Lu family sooner, she will have more elders to love her. Before I came, your mother was still talking about going to Lanting Yaju to see her."
Lu Jinzhou kept staring at his phone, waiting for Shen Nianchu's reply, "You're right, order the food, and I'll go back early to see your granddaughter-in-law after ordering."
Mr. Lu cleared his throat unnaturally. "Actually, I was asked by your grandmother to arrange a dinner for you and Shuyi today... Please sit down, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Lu Jinzhou knew very well what the old lady had been planning, so when he heard Xue Shuyi's name, his first reaction was to leave.
Mr. Lu waited until he sat down again before speaking.
"You know, your grandma has always wanted to bring you and Shuyi together. I came here with a mission. Your grandma said that if we were in Beijing, you and Shuyi would definitely not be able to sit at the same table together, so she asked me to bring Shuyi with me. I really couldn't persuade her, so you two can have a meal together as friends. I'll have someone take a photo and explain to your grandma, and then the three of us will eat together."
Anyway, Xue Shuyi also said that she was not interested in Lu Jinzhou, so he thought it was okay to take a photo to deal with the old lady's matter, otherwise he would definitely be punished when he got home.
Just as I finished speaking, I saw Xue Shuyi walking over in a Chanel suit.
"Grandma tricked me into coming here too. Let's just take a picture. I'll clarify things with Grandma when I get back. Otherwise, we won't even have a chat. There's definitely going to be another time."
This is true. When Mrs. Lu was young, she was a strong woman who was adept at business. She was one of the first to go into business. Later, she retired and returned to her family. At home, she was spoiled by her father-in-law, who would not give up until he achieved his goal.
It would be better to take a photo to prove that he and Xue Shuyi had a good chat, so as not to cause trouble for Shen Nianchu when he returns home.
After taking the photos, Lu Jinzhou had dinner with the old man and Xue Shuyi. "I'm leaving first. Aren't you guys going back to China?"
Mr. Lu felt relieved after completing his mission. "I just arrived today. I have to attend the hundred-day banquet for an old friend's great-grandson. I won't be back in two days."
Xue Shuyi smiled awkwardly, "Jinzhou, why don't you take me with you when you go back? Grandma tricked me into coming here, and I have things to do at the company."
Lu Jinzhou shook his head helplessly. The old lady was really getting more and more outrageous. "Let's go."
It's a private plane anyway, and there's no one else on it, so it doesn't matter if there's one more or one less person.
As he walked out, he opened his phone and took a look, but Shen Nianchu still hadn't replied to his message.
According to the time, it should be morning in China. I just sent the message and he just woke up, so why haven’t you replied yet?
Lu Jinzhou called, but no one answered.
He called the bodyguard he had arranged to take care of Shen Nianchu in the capital, "What is she doing?"
“Miss Shen is in the room, and seems to be taking a shower.” The bodyguard said indifferently.
Why are you taking a shower so early in the morning?
Did I have a nightmare again last night?
Ever since Yu Wanhua passed away, her sleep quality has been very poor. In the past month, she has taken melatonin almost every night before going to bed. Even if she falls asleep, she is often awakened by nightmares, so it is not surprising that she washes it off in the morning.
Just as Lu Jinzhou hung up, Jiang Qinian called and Ye Huan's anxious voice came from the phone, "Nianchu is missing."
"What?"
Jiang Qinian was also shocked. He said that Ye Huan came to him early in the morning and asked him to call Lu Jinzhou. "Don't worry, tell me what happened."
Ye Huan was so anxious that tears came down. "I haven't contacted her these days because of a business trip. When I got home, I found a letter on the table in my room. She said she was gone and left a card. She said she had transferred Shen Huaifeng to a nursing home in the suburbs of Beijing. The card had enough money to cover his nursing home expenses for fifty years. She also told me a lot, like..."
It was as if she was making arrangements for her funeral, but she didn't want to say anything so unlucky.
Instantly, Lu Jinzhou felt as if his heart was in his throat. "Go upstairs and take a look. The bodyguard just said she's taking a shower."
"I've checked, but there's no one there. I can't get through on the phone either. Please send someone to look for her. She's been in a bad mood lately, and I'm worried she's going to be upset..."
Lu Jinzhou directly told Ye Huan the password of his apartment and asked her to go inside and take a look.
He called the bodyguard again, his tone extremely cold, "Where is she?"
The bodyguard heard the anger in the tone and did not dare to hide it, saying frankly that he really didn't know.
Xue Shuyi saw the man's nervous expression and asked, "What's wrong, Jinzhou? Did something happen to Nianchu?"
Lu Jinzhou seemed not to hear it. He kept calling the other people he left in Beijing to take care of Shen Nianchu, and had no intention of replying to Xue Shuyi at all.
Xue Shuyi didn't care about that. "Let's go to the airport first. We have to go back first. I'll ask someone to help look for it."
